St. Cecilia Music Examinations
St. Cecilia Music Examinations was established in 1974 by music teachers and performers
who recognised the need for a new approach to the examining of music students.
Our examinations have been carefully designed to provide developing musicians of all
ages and stages with an assessment which examines performance and technical skills
whilst ensuring an enjoyable and valuable learning experience.
Each examination follows naturally to the next stage of development and for this reason
we advise that grades not be missed or skipped. We are endeavouring to provide students
with a positive examination experience as well as an accurate and fair assessment of their
skills.
Students who demonstrate that they know the requirements and who perform accurately
and confidently will always be successful. It is essential that teachers ensure that all
students who enter for our examinations are therefore thoroughly prepared. Students
who go beyond a technically accurate performance and who demonstrate sincere artistry
and musicianship will naturally achieve higher results.
All our syllabuses draw from the latest repertoire and are designed to suit varying styles
and tastes without compromising the need to master the fundamental requirements.
The technical requirements are developmental and are designed to give students a sound
and secure technique. A strong technique allows for more opportunity to approach a
broader repertoire.
We are confident that you will enjoy working with this syllabus and consequently
experience the many benefits and rewards associated with it.
Welcome to St. Cecilia!

Notes on the Pianoforte Syllabus
This syllabus has been designed to provide a structured course enabling the student to develop
pianistic skills whilst choosing music from a wide selection of interesting pieces and publications.
In the Beginner, Junior and Preliminary levels, three pieces chosen from the item listings are
required as well as technical work, ear-tests and general knowledge.
Through Grades 1- 8 the candidate must play four pieces from the item listings. These include a
study (to Grade 6) and three other pieces representing different musical styles. A large selection
is available.
Candidates also have the opportunity to experience the format of a professional performance
by presenting complete works. This is mandatory in Grade 8 for Items 1 and 2.
The graded examinations focus principally on music performance and technique as well as an
understanding of the background of the chosen pieces and composers. Ear tests and sight-
reading are not included but instead may be taken as a separate examination.
The technical requirements have been structured to ensure a logical and sensible development.
Scales, arpeggios, chords and cadences are included and represent all keys and finger patterns.
Careful attention must be given to metronome tempos and dynamics.
As with all St. Cecilia examinations every detail on the score must be adhered to. Dynamics,
phrasing, pedaling and performance instructions enhance the final product and will be carefully
assessed.
The “Programme Notes” section of the examination is vitally important. Up to and including
Grade 4, examiners will ask general theoretical questions about any of the chosen pieces. From
Grade 5 onwards a written account and discussion of one piece must be given. Students who
successfully complete the St. Cecilia Theory of Music examinations at the same grade level may
be exempted from this section.
Students who wish to prepare an entirely performance-based examination may choose the
Concert Certificate examination option. Explanatory notes as well as syllabus requirements are
detailed in this syllabus.
Whilst we endeavour to ensure the availability and accuracy of the publications listed in this
syllabus we are aware that this may not always be possible. Teachers and students are
encouraged to report any discrepancies which they may experience.

Concert Certificate Examinations
St. Cecilia’s Concert Certificate examinations are available for all instruments and voice at all
levels i.e. Beginner through to Grade 8. These examinations provide students with the
opportunity to prepare and present an interesting programme in a formal concert-style
environment.
An audience may be present but the hiring of venues including conditions of hire i.e.
insurance, cleaning etc remains the responsibility of the teacher or candidate.
EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS:
· Four items must be presented which reflect an interesting and balanced

programme. A particular theme may be incorporated e.g. music of one
composer; a reflection of a scene or mood; music from a particular country or
culture. Imagination is encouraged.
· Items should be chosen from the current St. Cecilia syllabus e.g. for Concert
Certificate Four, items must be chosen from anywhere within the St. Cecilia
Grade Four syllabus. Alternative pieces may be presented with prior approval.
· Appropriate formal concert dress and accepted stage presentation and

etiquette (bowing, audience acknowledgement etc) are also assessed. School
uniform is usually not considered appropriate.
· An imaginatively set out written programme containing interesting and

informative details on all the chosen performance pieces must be presented
to the examiner. Relevant biographical details about the performer are
appropriate. An accurate timing of each piece must also be indicated.
· Technical work (scales etc) is not a requirement for these examinations.
Concert Certificate examinations must fit into the following time limits. If necessary,
repeats should be played. It is acceptable to include more than one piece within an item
e.g. combining two pieces of similar character, title, text or by the same composer.
Beginner, Junior Concert Certificate - 2 to 10 minutes
Preliminary Concert Certificate - 3 to 10 minutes
Concert Certificate 1 - 5 to 10 minutes

CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT & HINTS TO PERFORMERS
· The manner of dress. As for a public performance. Students who do not

dress formally must accept their low assessment in this area. Attention to
footwear should be considered. School uniforms are not usually considered
appropriate. It is better to be over-dressed rather than under-dressed.
· Confident and dignified stage presentation. Students should observe

professional performers in action and endeavour to emulate good stage
etiquette and presentation. Half-hearted bowing etc will attract few marks as
will apologetic, immature and insecure stage manners. The performer may
address the audience if relevant and appropriate.
· An impressive performance. Technical fluency is expected for a public

concert/recital and audiences (examiners) are unsympathetic with second
rate or unprepared presentations. All notes, rhythms, dynamics etc must be
mastered perfectly. A musical and artistic rendition is expected even at the
elementary levels. Performances from memory earn additional marks.
· A smart programme. The programme must be printed accurately with

attention to correct grammar and spelling. Examiners will not accept
amateurish presentations which imply very little care or effort. Proper use of
computer programs to deliver a smart-looking and imaginative program is part
of the assessment in this section.
· Attitude. The performer must maintain a dignified and controlled attitude

throughout the entire performance. Disorganised, apologetic or uncontrolled
performances will not be acceptable and will not constitute a pass standard.
· Page turners & stage managers. Performers are ultimately responsible for
their entire performance including page turning and equipment usage. A stage
manager and/or page tuner (who may be the teacher or parent) may assist in
a professional and discreet manner. They must not address the examiner or
audience. Stage managers and page tuners should be attired appropriately.
· Accompanied items. At least three of the four items must be accompanied

for instruments where the chosen music includes a written accompaniment.
These instruments are typically strings, woodwind, brass and singing. One
song may be unaccompanied. The accompanying instrument may not
necessarily be restricted to piano. (e.g. guitar or small ensemble may
accompany if appropriate) Backing tracks are not acceptable.

Recital Certificate Examinations
St. Cecilia’s First Recital Certificate and Advanced Recital Certificate examinations are available
for all instruments and voice. The Recital Certificate allows students to present a full recital in
a formal environment. Additional time is allocated for this examination allowing the student
greater flexibility with programme choice.
An audience may be present but the hiring of venues including conditions of hire i.e. insurance,
cleaning etc remains the responsibility of the teacher or candidate.
EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS:
· Four items must be presented which reflect an interesting and balanced programme. A
particular theme may be incorporated e.g. music of one composer; a reflection of a
scene or mood; music from a particular country or culture. Imagination is
encouraged.
· Items may be chosen from any recognized examination board syllabus but at least
one item must be chosen from the St. Cecilia Grade syllabus. For the First Recital
Certificate one item must be from the St. Cecilia Grade Five syllabus. For the Advanced
Recital Certificate one item must be chosen from the St. Cecilia Grade Eight syllabus.
· Appropriate formal concert dress and accepted stage presentation and etiquette
(bowing, audience acknowledgement etc) are also assessed. School uniform is usually
not considered appropriate.
· An imaginatively set out written programme containing interesting and informative

details on all the chosen performance pieces must be presented to the examiner.
Relevant biographical details about the performer are appropriate. An accurate timing
of each piece must also be indicated.
· Technical work (scales etc) is not a requirement for these examinations.
· The examination must fit within a time restriction.

o First Recital Certificate 20 – 25 minutes
o Advanced Recital Certificate 25 – 30 minutes
· It is acceptable to include more than one piece within an item e.g. combining two
pieces of similar character, title, text or by the same composer. If artistically
appropriate, repeats may be observed.

St Cecilia Pianoforte Performance Syllabus
GRADES 1-8
The following syllabus has been designed to provide a structured course that will enable the student to develop
pianistic skills, whilst choosing music from a wide selection of pieces that should appeal to various personal tastes.
The candidate must play four items selected from four large lists of works. These include a study (to Grade 6)
and three other pieces from different musical periods. While this syllabus is classically based, pieces of jazz and
blues styles are included in the 20 /21 century section from Grades 1 to 5.
th st
There are opportunities to play works by female composers - e.g. Clara Schumann, Louise Farrenc and Fanny
Hensel (Mendelssohn's sister).
Candidates may also play complete works and this becomes mandatory in Grade 8, for Items 1 and 2, thus
enabling the student to experience the typical format of many professional recitals.
The syllabus is an extension of the early grades of the St. Cecilia examination system: Beginners, Junior and
Preliminary. Unlike these exams, however, the grades which follow have no ear test, or musicianship sections; nor
are there any sight-reading tests. The focus is placed on musical performance, technical skill and knowledge of the
works presented, however, this does not imply that aural and reading skills are insignificant or irrelevant to a
sound musical training - merely that they are not required in these examinations.
It is impossible to give an exciting, or even a competent performance without a solid technical foundation;
therefore, the technical work section has been carefully structured to ensure the constant development of various
skills and a sound knowledge of all keys.
The groups of keys - particularly in the early grades - have been chosen according to finger patterns, to enable ease
of learning. All keys have been covered by Grade 6 and are presented again in various ways in grades 7 and 8.
As in Beginner, Junior and Preliminary, dynamic contrasts will be expected in all grades, even when they are not
printed on the music.
Speeds of scales and arpeggios gradually increase, dynamics are added and, when the technique has
strengthened, staccato and double octaves are required.
The final section of each examination - “Programme Notes” - requires the student to be aware of certain
theoretical aspects of their pieces.
From Grades 1 to 4 this is directly related to the content of the score and will consist of the familiar question and
answer format.
For the remaining grades, candidates are to present information about one of their pieces, (candidate's choice)
including an analysis of the work and stylistic characteristics in relation to the historical period in which it was
written. The information is to be presented orally, with reference to written notes of which the examiner will be
given a copy.
With this rather different approach to the “General Knowledge” section of examinations, it is hoped that students
will research and then retain the relevant information, presenting it as it might be found in the programme notes
at a concert.

St Cecilia DIGITAL PIANO Syllabus

Introduction
This digital piano syllabus is designed to assist the student in the development of musical performance skills
on the keyboard. These skills, including accurate note reading, correct rhythm interpretation, improvisation
and the ability to use appropriate registration (tones/rhythms) are all examined in an encouraging and
supportive way. In making this syllabus as flexible as possible, the teacher/candidate may also choose a piece
that is not listed in the syllabus and submit to SCSM for approval prior to the examination. In the higher
grades, the programme includes an improvisation component and the option of performing with a backing
track.
Concert Certificate examinations are available at all levels for Digital Piano. First Recital Certificate and
Advanced Recital Certificate examinations are also available. Refer to pages 5-8 in this syllabus for more
information.
Confidence and a sense of style in playing will be highly regarded. As with any music examination, the
benefits of preparing for examinations are immense, as well as highly rewarding and motivating for the
student.
Examination Requirements
Each examination comprises three sections, which together cover the entire range of skills involved in
keyboard performance. The three sections are:-
1. Knowledge of various chords and scales, an essential skill for all popular musicians. The requirements
for each grade cumulatively cover all commonly used chords and scales in popular music.
2. The performance of four items (pieces) from the lists in each grade (three items for Beginner, Junior
and Preliminary). Candidates are encouraged to choose pieces using a variety of different keys where
possible.
One item (at least) must be performed using a rhythm accompaniment on the keyboard.
Item Four is a free choice which includes any of the following categories:
- Original or published arrangements of popular songs.
- Original compositions of the candidate in any style.
- Classical works with or without arrangement.
3. Programme notes - The examiner will ask several questions regarding the content of the musical score.
This will include areas such as key-signatures, time signatures, notation, terms and signs on the score.
The candidate will give a brief explanation of the style of the own-choice piece presented at the
examination.
NOTE: In Beginner, Junior and Preliminary grades, exercises and ear tests are also required.
Keyboard/Equipment Requirements
The teacher must arrange for a suitable keyboard/digital piano at the examination.
As each keyboard is different, these are the basic requirements for each grade.
Beginner and Junior grades - Four octave range.

Preliminary and Grade One - Five octave range.
Grade Two and higher - Five octaves with touch sensitive keys and sustain pedal.
Candidates must play and hold all notes of each chord - single finger chords and chord memory functions must
not be used. Rhythm accompaniment must be used in at least one item performed at the examination. Backing
tracks via a sequencer, etc are optional in all grades and mandatory in the higher grades. The candidate is
responsible for the setting up, starting/stopping, etc of sequencers.

Modern Piano & Jazz
St Cecilia MODERN PIANO and JAZZ Syllabus
Introduction
This syllabus has been designed to foster the skills associated with contemporary musical
performance at the piano. This vibrant area of self-expression is of ever-increasing interest to
students of all levels. Teachers will find their students develop added enthusiasm as a result of
incorporating contemporary music into their curriculum. As with the study of all music subjects,
the benefits of preparing for an examination are immense and highly rewarding.
The skills required for this syllabus reflect the individuality which is intrinsic with modern styles
of music. Students who complete each grade will be fully equipped to play contemporary music
at a professional level.
Concert Certificate examinations are also available for the Modern Piano as are the First and
Advanced Recital examinations.
EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS
A confident performance with a sense of style and imagination will be highly regarded. Technical
security is expected at all levels. Whilst not compulsory, credit will be given for performances
from memory. Improvisation and original compositions and arrangements are encouraged.
Each grade examination comprises four sections, which together cover the entire range of skills
involved in contemporary music performance. The four sections are:
1. The performance of a piece selected from Items 1, 2 or 3 of the St. Cecilia Classical Piano
syllabus at the same grade level.
2. A knowledge of the principal scale and chord forms essential for the confident
performance of contemporary music.
3. The performance of three items which cover an interesting and entertaining

programme.
4. An understanding of the theoretical and stylistic background of each of the presented

pieces
As this syllabus commences at the Grade One level, candidates are advised to consider
completing the Pianoforte or Digital Piano syllabus at the Beginner, Junior and Preliminary levels
first.
79
Modern Piano & Jazz
GRADES ONE – EIGHT
SECTION 1 (20 marks) The candidate has two options (1) to perform any piece equivalent to the

Piano grade examination.
SECTION 2 (20 marks) This section needs to be presented promptly and confidently. In addition to
the candidate’s demonstration of technical dexterity, there should be evidence of a high degree of
aural skill and awareness. The examiner may request an theoretical explanation of the various scale
